Ripplin Waters Lyrics

    This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the i want to live album, and has also been released on the the country roads collection album.

    Got ripplin' waters to wake me
    To be more than my woman in love
    All pine trees are pointin' to see easily
    To see heaven above

    Blue spruce flamin' on the grate in the evening
    Takes the chill away fine
    Cut the telephone line
    The story's the same

    There's a worn red chair by the window
    That you found at a sale down the way
    When some old women said that they
    Needed more room for the winter

    People like pullin' at the stuffing
    When they sit down
    So it passes the time
    Cut the telephone line
    The story's the same

    Ooh, like a bubble on a windy day
    Start to flutter when i hear you say
    That you feel too good to go away
    And you make me feel fine
    And you made the world a warmer place
    By the sparkle of your diamond face
    On a gray spot with a little lace
    And you make me feel fine
    Warm as a mountain in sunshine
    On the edge of the snowline
    In a meadow of columbine

    Oh little gennifer
    I'd give a penny for
    What you've got on your mind
    Seems like most of the time you're lyin' there dreamin'

    Maybe in your vision you see how
    Our mission is slightly less than divine
    Cut the telephone line
    The story's the same

    Now, ripplin' waters flow through the ceiling
    And the walls there, their keepin' me warm
    And the closest i've been with my family for days
    Is my music

    But the silently stare in the morning sky
    Is like hearing her calling my name
    Cut the telephone line
    The story might change

    Ooh, like a bubble on a windy day
    Start to flutter when i hear you say
    That you feel too good to go away
    And you make me feel fine
    Warm as a mountain sunshine
    On the edge of the snowline
    In a meadow of columbine
